Update #1: Martina Copadanno

When doing basic research of photostories, I found a London photographer called Martina Copadanno. She takes photos of weddings locally and puts them in a narrative sturucture. On her website, she states that she does it in order for her audience to 'feel like you were there too' which I think it what the photostory should be about, much like a film and to tell the story of the day.

I think the most amazing thing about her photostories are that she doesn't always get the couples faces in, yet you can imagine the emotion and feelings from the day by the simple way she has angled the photos and got in certain body language. In the two photos below, you can tell that the bridesmaids are having a good time and the bride at the top is excited to get married.

Not only does she capture the couple, she also captures the basic surroundings which are done in order for the couple to enjoy the day and have a beautiful atmosphere. Every wedding has a different theme which is why I have enjoyed researching this photo-stories as all her photos are completely different. I think, after looking at her work, it is important to capture every detail from the photostory that I chose, even if I don't think it is important at the time, it may fit in well with my final photostory.

Martina is a known photographer for weddings as she has been asked to do promotional shoots for wedding shows and magazines, which is obviously such a massive achievement. She has had several spreads reflecting her work and also has an online blog to reflect her images.

After seeing Martina's work, I would consider contacting a wedding photographer in order to shadow around a wedding as the photos come out great and there is a clear narrative throughout the day.
